David Garozzo-Vaglio

David Garozzo-Vaglio is an AHPRA-registered clinician with seven years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, depression and coping with life changes. He also supports concerns linked to ageing, chronic illness and pain, and questions about life purpose.

David keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress now and finding steps that can be tried between meetings. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than vague promises, and adapts pacing to how someone prefers to work.

People who come with panic, phobias or post-traumatic stress will work through triggers and coping strategies in a structured way. For process addictions such as problematic gambling, exercise or porn use, he focuses on patterns and alternatives rather than labels. Work on self-love and mood difficulties emphasises small behavioural changes and clearer routines.

When chronic pain, traumatic brain injury or ageing issues are part of the picture, sessions address both the physical impact and the emotional effects. Sleeping problems are approached through habits and bedtime routines alongside stress management. David will also help people explore questions about meaning or life purpose without promising definitive answers.

He offers sessions in English, French and Italian. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options to ensure they match your needs.

Approaches to change and working online

David draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address short-term problems and longer-term patterns. One common approach he uses focuses on behavioural change and routines - it helps with sleep issues, mood regulation and everyday habits by breaking problems into small, testable actions. Another approach emphasises exposure and skills training to reduce panic, phobias and anxiety by practising manageable steps toward feared situations.

Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. He discusses goals and preferences and then helps select approaches that fit the client's needs. Adjustments are made as progress is seen or when priorities shift, so the plan can change over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can be easier to fit into a busy week, and it can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel. It also makes it possible to keep appointments across different locations, and to use telephone when bandwidth or quiet surroundings make video difficult.
